Flamengo host special event at Ninho do Urubu for Children's Day

Children’s Day is celebrated on October 12

The Flamengo training session had a relaxed moment this Sunday (12). That’s because, in celebration of Children’s Day, which is observed in Brazil on October 12, the under-10 team players from Mengão visited the professional squad at Ninho do Urubu.

Thus, Arrascaeta, Samuel Lino, and Saúl brought joy to the kids and chatted with the under-10 team players. In addition to doing activities together, the professional athletes received personalized shirts with their names drawn by the children.

Was Arrascaeta interviewed?

During the conversation with the children, Arrascaeta was asked about what it felt like to play in the FIFA Super Club World Cup. On that occasion, Flamengo finished first in their group, but said goodbye to the tournament in the round of 16 after losing to Bayern Munich (GER) 4-2.

It’s difficult. Because you face competitions that are very important, with the best in the world. So, for us, it was an extra motivation to have this opportunity with Flamengo. To reach the World Cup and play on equal terms with any team. For us, it was a very beautiful experience and made us grow, both as a group and as players. Knowing that we are on the right path, doing things in the best way possible to compete against them,” said Arrascaeta.

How is Flamengo’s preparation going?

Meanwhile, Flamengo continues its preparations for the next fixture of the season. This Monday (13) and Tuesday (14), the squad will hold their last two training sessions before the derby against Botafogo on Wednesday (15).

Flamengo is currently in second place in the Brazilian Championship, with 55 points. In the meantime, Filipe Luís’s team has 16 wins, seven draws, and three losses. Palmeiras leads the competition, with 58 points.

What is Flamengo’s next match?

The match between Flamengo and Botafogo takes place this Wednesday (15), for the 28th round of the Brazilian Championship. Thus, the ball will roll for the Rio derby at 7:30 p.m. (Brasília time), at Nilton Santos Stadium.
